>Be a lady. >Because almost nobody writes fluffy stories with girls, except Mayclore, so it’s worth pointing out. >You’re getting ready for a date, and are currently applying your makeup. >Your toy fluffy, Lando, sits on your bathroom counter while you work. >”Mummy wook so pwetty! Wan be pwetty wike Mummy!” >Awww, he always knows just what to say. >You rub the lipstick on your lips, and Lando’s eyes follow the metal tube with a childlike wonder. >Ready to roll. >You pick up Lando and carry him to his playpen, giving him a soft hug and a quick belly rub. >”Mommy’s going to be back late, alright? So don’t try to stay up waiting for me like last time. Remember how tired you were the next day?” >”Wando wemembew. Nu wowwy, mummy, Wando be good fwuffy!” >”Glad to hear it. Good night, Lando.” >”Nigh’ night, Mummy.” >He settles into his little bed, which is mostly a pile of socks you never use anymore. >Still, he loves sleeping there, so whatever. >As he curls up into a tiny fluffy ball, you can hear him muttering “Pwetty mummy, wan be pwetty…” >You head out for your date.   >A little dancing, a little drinking, not bad for a first date. >You enter your apartment around midnight. >Best check on Lando and make sure he’s sleeping. >If he waited up for you again, he’ll be glad to see you. >His playpen is empty. >You check under the pile of socks. No Lando. >You notice a tear on one side of the playpen. >Goddamn fucking piece of shit defective cheap Ikea crap. >Useless. >Lando loves exploring whenever he can, so of course he’d venture out. >Just one of the perils of fluffy ownership. >Still, he’s a toy fluffy, so he’s very small. There are only so many places he could be. >”Lando? Where are you, baby?” >No response. >You check under all the furniture. >”Lando, this isn’t hide and seek time. I need you to come out here now. You’re not in trouble, but you will be if you keep hiding!” >Still no response. >That usually works. >Now you’re worried. Either he’s stuck somewhere, or has already gotten himself killed. >You hear a soft moaning coming from the bathroom. >You open the door to find Lando lying on the counter, clutching his tummy and moaning. >His face is covered in a dark red. >One of your lipstick tubes lies next to him. A large bite has been taken out of it. >”Oh, Lando, honey, what did you do?” >”Mummy, Wando haf bad tummy owwies…[urp]” >You’d ask how he even got up there, but at this point you’re more concerned for his health. >”Lando, that’s mommy’s makeup. It’s not food. Why did you try eating it?” >Lando’s tummy gurgles and he groans loudly. His eyes swell with tears, either from pain or guilt. >”Wando wuv mummy, an’ mummy so pwetty when mummy weaw pwetty fings. Wan’ be pwetty wike mummy, so Wando haf red nummies…” >You take a tissue and wipe his mouth, cleaning off the lipstick as best as you can. >Lando cries some more. >”Wando sowwy, mummy. Wuv mummy, jus’ wan’ be pwetty. Am bad fwuffy.” >You wash his off and rub his side, careful not to irritate his stomach furthis. >”Lando, when I put on lipstick, I don’t eat it. I’m just rubbing it on my lips. Lipstick is very yucky and bad for you if you eat it.” >”Sowwy, mummy.” >You smile and kiss him on the head. >”You don’t need makeup. You’re already the prettiest little fluffy I’ve ever seen.” >He’s still in a lot of pain, but Lando smiles weakly and hugs your hand. >”Wuv mummy…” >You put Lando back in his playpen and tape up the opening. >He falls asleep still clutching his tummy, but he seems happier than when you found him. >Get up the next day and check on Lando. >His litterbox has several dark red turds in it, but Lando is playing with his ball happily. >Get an idea. >Get your old toy box out of the closet. >Aha! Your old dolls. >Grab the sun hat with the elastic strap off one of them. >”Lando, I have a surprise for you!” >You put the tiny hat on his head and tie the strap so it stays comfortably. >Fits like a glove. >” This hat is for pretty little fluffies only, Lando. Now you don’t need makeup!” >Lando marvels at the hat on his head. >”Fank yoo, mummy! Wuv hat!” >From then on, he never goes anywhere without his hat.
